-COVID

   -Vaccine

With traditional vaccines a small, attenuated amount of the virus is cultured in a lab and then injected into patients. This gives the patient’s immune system a chance to come in contact with the virus’ protein signature, but in a safe, controlled way and then your body produces antibodies for that specific virus. So the next time your body encounters that virus protein signature, it knows what to do and already has antibodies ready to go.

All your common vaccines work on this method. Your immune system simply gets to “sample” the virus without being fully infected with it. This allows it to prepare antibodies to fight it off if your body ever encounters it again.

But with the new covid-19 vaccine from Pfizer, it works by a completely new mechanism, and one that has never before been used.

The new Pfizer vaccine is an mRNA based vaccine. An mRNA vaccine works by using mRNA (stands for messenger RNA) which once injected, invades your body’s immune cells and reprograms the ribosomes within those cells to produce virus molecules. When these virus molecules are released, your body’s immune system can then detect them, and hopefully build antibodies.

But as you can see, this is a totally different mechanism from a traditional vaccine, and also somewhat scary. Instead of just injecting you with a weak form of a known virus, this vaccine actually reprograms your own cells at the genetic level. The vaccine interrupts your cell’s own function and injects new genetic instructions so they become factories for the virus molecules.

That’s my understanding too. Your body uses the mRNA as ingredients to build the antigen.

The natural process in your body is that your DNA creates mRNA which your cells then use as instructions to create proteins. In this process they have selected a mRNA that is expected to create a protein that acts as the antigen.

This is basically a different set of instructions for your body to use.
